Resistor versus Non Resistor Plugs-96 SL500
I read somewhere in the forum that we should not use a Resistor type plug in my SL500-5.0 V8.
I am confused by the following description on the NGK web site.
Can someone clear this up for me?
"NGK strongly recommends using resistor spark plugs in any vehicle that uses on-board computer systems to monitor or control engine performance. This is because resistor spark plugs reduce electromagnetic interference with on-board electronics.
They are also recommended on any vehicle that has other on-board electronic systems such as engine-management computers, two-way radios, GPS systems, depth finders or whenever recommended by the manufacturer.
In fact, using a non-resistor plug in certain applications can actually cause the engine to suffer undesirable side effects such as an erratic idle, high-rpm misfire, engine run-on, power drop off at certain rpm levels and abnormal combustion."
Thanks
